I ended up liking the flexibility of backupninja (packaged for Debian, 
not sure who else has packages), but like some other backup projects, it 
doesn't seem to have gathered much of a following.

Playing 'round with Bacula and BackupPC, they're all different means to 
an end, so I haven't worked on a plan to switch to one of the more 
"popular" ones yet.

(Maybe this is my posting saying "Try backupninja!" to garner more 
interest for it.  Ha.)
